THE ELEPHANT IN THE MOON.

In the early days of the telescope many
absurd mistakes were made in the use Of
the new instrument, and many ''disc0v-
cries" announced that have not been con
tirmed by the studies of astronomers who
have lived since
In the sixteenth century, an English
observer, Sir Peter Neal, who possessed a
telescope and was very conceited about
it, gave out that he had discovered Gan
elephant in the moon" The discovery
made quite sensation, and Sir Peter
had the satisfaction of hearing his ele-
plant In the moon talked about on every
side.
One day a gentleman who had some
knowledge of the use of telescopes, and
was incredulous about the elephant, OBJ
tanned the favor of looking through Sir
Peters telescope, and seized the oppor-
tunlty to search the instrument. Pre-
sently he came to Sir Peter, holding a
ty between his fingers and thumb.
''Well what is it?' said Sir Peter.
Nothing sir, but your elephant in the
moou!"
The fly had crept into the telescope in
such way as to suggest and elephant to
the amateur astronomer, who kept his
instrument trained on the moon. The
incident soon became as widely known as
the discovery, and the elephant in the
moon" became by word, signifying the
same as "a mares nest" Samuel Butler
wrote poem on the subject.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS.

1t is the duty Of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia,
and in fact all throat and lung diseases.
No person can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
wear. and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine as the Ger
man Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about 1t, Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular
size, IS cents. Sold by all Druggists

THE POEM OF LIFE.
NGERsoLL PICTURE OF THE MARCH FROM
THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE.

Born of love and hope, of ecstasy and
pain, of agony and fear. of tears and Joy
lowered with the wealth of two united
hearts-held in happy arms. with lips
upon life's drifted font, blue veined and
fair, where perfect peace finds perfect
form-rocksd by willing feet and wooed
to shadowy shores of sleep by siren
mother singing soft and low-looklng
with wonders wide and startled eyes at
common things of life and day-taught
by want and wish and contact with the
things that touch the dimpled flesh of
babes-lured by light and flame and
charmed by color's wondrous robes
learning the use of hands and feet, aud
by the love of mimicry beguiled to utter
speech-releasing prisoned thoughts
from grabbed and curious marks on
soiled and tattered leaves-puzzling the
brain with crooked numbers and their
changing tangled worth-and so through
years of alternating day and night, until
the captive grows familiar with the chains,
and walls, and limitations of life.
And time runs on in sun and shade,
until the one Of all tue world is woOed
and won, and all the lore of ove is Taught
and learned again. Again a home Is
built, with the fair chamber wherein
faint dreams, like cool and shadowy wales,
divide the beloved hours of love. Again
the miracle of birth-the pain and Joy,
the kiss of welcome, aud the cradle song,
drowning the drowsy prattle of babe
And then the sense of obligation and
of wrong-pity for those who toll and
weep-tears for the imprisoned and
despised-love for the generous dead,
and in the heart the rapture of high
resolve.
And then ambition with its lust of pelf
and place and power, longing to put
upon its breast distinctions worthless
badge. Then keener thoughts of men,
and eyes that see behind the smiling
mask of craft-hattered no more by the
obsequious cringe of gain and greed
knowing the uselessness of boarded gold
and honor bought from those who charge
the using of self respected power that
only bends a towards knee and forces
from the lips of fear the lies of praise.
Knowing at last the unstudied gesture
of esteem, the reverent eyes made rich
with honest thoughts, and holding high
above all other things-high as hope s
great throbbipg star above the darkness
of the dead-the love of wife and child
and friend.
Then locks of gray and growing love
of other days and half remembered things
then holding withered hands of those
who first held his, while over dim and
loving eyes death softly presses down
the lids of rest.

The recent voyage of the electric
launch Volta across the British Channel,
from Dover to Calais and back, is re
garded as a scientific success lar In
advance of what was expected. The
Volta is built of galvanized steel plates,
aud her deck Is nearly on a level with
the water. Below the deck are placed
the electric accumulators. These are
little square boxes, about ski inches,
and are wedged closely together to
prevent shifting. The propelllng power
consists of sixty one accumulatOr5 and
a pair of Reckeuzann accumuiators,
also placed beueath the floor, 50 thai
the whole of the boat is available for
PASSENGER accommodation. The power
Of the motors may be varied at will from
four 10 twelve horse power, while the
screw propeller makes from SIX hundred
to one Thousand revolutions a minute.
when the boat reached Calais it was
found that the amount of electricity re
manning in the accumulators warranted
the return journey in being attempted
The speed reached was fourteen miles
an hour, and so noiseless was the little
vessel that in mid channel the pilots
observing seagull asleep on the wafer,
steered close to it, aud one of them on
board caught the bird by the neck and
brought it alive to Dover.
